This happens with my ThinkPad frequently. Find the NumLock key (on the
ThinkPad it is the SHIFT--ScrLk key) and press it. He has the Numerical
Key Pad activated. If you look closely at the keyboard some of the keys
(7,8,9,0,j,k,l,....) have small [sometimes different colored] numbers along
with the other key designations that are on the keypad at right side of a
full sized keyboard.
Laptops, when toggled into this mode, can use these keyboard keys like the
full-sized keyboard keypad. I've never seen anyone really use it, but it
seems to be on most laptops.
